it had occurred.

Jackson's role in the 2004 Super Bowl incident, when her breast
was accidentally exposed during her performance. Karim could
not easily find a video clip of the incident online, which led to the
idea of a video sharing site.

version of an online dating service, and had been influenced by
the website Hot or Not.
